The Nokia Lumia 920 release date has been disclosed by Vodafone, but the carrier plans to treat its potential buyers with more WP8 handsets than one this time. To be launched together with the Finnish company’s flagship smartphone are the 820 and the 620 from the same series as well as HTC’s Windows Phone 8S and 8X.
Clearly, the Lumia 920 and the Windows Phone 8X will be aiming high-end smartphone seekers. Even though the front panel of both handsets rests beneath the protective layer of Corning Gorilla Glass, the former houses a 4.5-inch PureMotion HD+ ClearBlack display, whereas the latter comes with a 4.3-inch super LCD screen.
Also, each will flaunt an 8MP camera embedded onto their rear, but the PureView technology employed in addition to the Carl Zeiss lens in the 4.5 incher’s snapper could give it an upper hand. The incorporated Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor clocked at 1.5GHz is another aspect that can be considered common in both.
The Lumia 820 qualifies to be a mid-range device and yet shows off many features similar to that of the Taiwanese company’s high-end smartphone. Its 4.3-inch AMOLED display that utilizes the ClearBlack technology has been given Gorilla Glass protection. It carries an 8MP rear-facing snapper and gains steam from a 1.5GHz dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU.
On the other hand, the 620 along with the Windows Phone 8S takes shelter in the wish list of those on a lookout for low-end gadgets. There is a 5MP shutter featuring an LED flash for multimedia purposes, but the latter holds the ability to capture videos in 720p.
The specification sheets of both the smartphones seem more or less the same. For instance, a dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chip paces at a clock speed of 1GHz in each of the aforementioned pocket-friendly devices.
As per the official Vodafone blog, all the handsets will ship starting February 6. The Nokia Lumia 920 will be seen drenched in black and yellow, while the 820 and the 620 will come with swappable back plates. Buyers will be able to find the HTC Windows Phone 8X in colors such as California blue as well as black and at the same time the 8S will pave its way into the market in Atlantic blue.
